Resumen
El "riesgo" se ha constituido en objeto de investigación de diferentes disciplinas. Dichos estudios comparten el interés por conocer los aspectos que rodean la toma de riesgos por individuos, grupos o sociedades. Un breve recuento histórico ilustra los orígenes de las principales connotaciones semánticas del término, el cual tiene gran diversidad de contenidos. Se mencionan visiones sociológicas, culturales, psicológicas y educativas del riesgo así como la perspectiva de estudio desde el campo de la salud. En este último, se muestra la polarización entre las tendencias de investigación "objetivas" y "subjetivas". Dichas tendencias tienen postulados epistemológicos y ontológicos que guían el análisis del riesgo bajo el paradigma de investigación positivista o interpretativo-cualitativo.
"Risk" has been considered a matter of research in different fields. These such studies share a common interest to elucidate the aspects which have to be taken into account in individual, group and social management of risk. By making a brief historical survey the term "risk" has a great variety of semantic connotations. Among them sociological, anthropological, psychological, educational views as well as the study of risk and it´s implications on the health field. In the later mentioned, polarization between "objective" and "subjective" tendencies of research has been shown. Both these tendencies involve epistemological and ontological assumptions. Thus, they guide the analyses of risk to be carried out under the paradigm of positivist or interpretive qualitative research.
